Design & Build Quality

Clad in piano-gloss-black-finished aerospace-grade aluminium, the Super Sat 50C exudes sophistication while delivering unbeaten rigidity. The D’Appolito array positions two 4.5" cast basket bass/midrange drivers flanking the High-Velocity Folded Ribbon tweeter, all within a sub-3cm depth. This architecture not only ensures time-coherent dispersion but also minimises cabinet resonance for a pristine acoustic signature.

Acoustic Performance

Two 4"×7" quadratic planar infrasonic radiators extend the low end down to a musical 60 Hz, ensuring room-filling bass without the boom. The ribbon tweeter’s ultra-fast transient response excels in revealing micro-detail, while the Multi-Vaned Phase Plug (MVPP) on the mid driver refines dispersion and phase alignment. Expect exceptionally low distortion, 92 dB sensitivity, and wide dynamic headroom that breathe life into music and movie soundtracks alike.

Installation & Versatility

Whether wall-mounted via threaded inserts, perched on an optional smoked-glass Table/Shelf Stand 50, or floor-standing on the SuperStand, the Super Sat 50C adapts to your aesthetic and acoustic requirements. The horizontal centre-channel version even incorporates adjustable levelling feet to optimise toe-in and listening angle.

Who Is It For?

This LCR model is perfect for cinephiles seeking blockbuster-quality dialogue clarity and three-dimensional sound staging, as well as audiophiles craving a compact speaker that doesn’t compromise on depth or detail. Ideal for paired amplifiers in the 20–200 W/channel range, its 8 Ω load makes it versatile for both tube and solid-state rigs, thriving in small to medium-size rooms.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Sleek, low-profile design; exceptional midrange detail; wide frequency extension; flexible mounting options; low distortion & high sensitivity
• Cons: Modest absolute low end below 60 Hz (pair with a subwoofer for full-range performance); premium pricing reflects advanced engineering
